Azimuth adjustment or vertical alignment of the cartridge is very important for optimal channel separation. The checking is easily done by lowering the cartridge onto a thin mirror placed on the record surface and examining whether the reflection lines up square with the cartridge, when viewed from the front. During this test tonearm must still be parallel to the record surface. If not obtainable because of mirror thickness, remove record and work directly on the mat. If alignment is still incorrect and not adjustable because of fixed headshell, the only solution is to resort to packing on one side of the head-shell.

Always remember that cartridges are extremely delicate devices. Absolute care and attention must be given when installing your cartridge to avoid any accidental damage.

this is very critical adjustment. This determines the stereo separation. The mirror is a good idea. I have seen USB cameras made for this adjustment. It's so hard to see that little stylus. UPDATE......USB cameras are really terrible. You need a really steady hand. I'm sure they make USB cameras that temporarily mount to the TT with a suction cup to give you a perfect steady image.

Using a first surface mirror where the reflective coating is on the front instead of the back can help you see the alignment a bit better. Such mirrors are available online and are not too expensive.

Very clear instructions and the macro video shooting really helped me understand what I need to do. Thanks!

Thank You. I have a Ortofon 2M Blue. My Azimuth needs adjustment. Without a mirror I can see it's off. Love the suggestion of using shims to get it right if needed. What is important is to get that needle perpendicular, going into the groove straight. I'll work on it.

It would have been helpful if the instructor had actually loosened the head shell and placed the shim appropriately. Of course, we can all figure out how to do it, but seeing a skilled person show how it is done would add to the confidence of a user doing it for the first time. Otherwise, excellent demonstration.

You can also rotate the tone arm their is a screw on there but. This way is easier.

Wonder why they didn't point that out...this looks like a debut carbon - their own product - which has that screw for adjustments.

I don't know if that is correct. If the azimuth is not set correctly, shouldn't we also be able to hear that one channel is quieter or louder than the other?

There's actually a grub screw at the rear of that tone arm that allows the arm to rotate to adjust azimuth. No shims needed. I just checked mine, and that's the story of why I'm here.

I have an OM-Blue and i love it. However the oblique form of the element does not make any adjustment easier.

merci , mais il faut regarder avec le gabarit A&b voir si l'aiguille est correct donc compliquer de passer de l'un a l'autre

I don’t understand why you would have to pack one side or the other. My Pro-Ject table allows me to adjustment azimuth by rotating the tone arm after loosening a screw.

Azimuth is defined as a horizontal angle. You're describing the complete opposite, a vertical angle. Please explain.
@sangotade
@sangotade 11 месяцев назад
My guess is that although you are looking at the vertical stylus, the angle you are adjusting is the horizontal angle of the top side of the cartridge
@petrofski88
@petrofski88 2 месяца назад
While "azimuth" traditionally describes a horizontal angle, its application in vinyl records is a specialized usage that reflects the need for precise angular alignment, albeit in a different plane (vertical rather than horizontal). This adaptation of the term is considered correct within the context of audio engineering, despite the difference in the plane of measurement.

If the adjustment isn't correct. Would this cause a new record to stick at the start of tracks?
@TheReal1953
@TheReal1953 2 года назад
They have reasonably cheap tools for this;wherein it's a vertical plastic see through plate with horizontal lines. You use the lines to see if your cart bottom is parallel to your record surface. But this assumes that you diamond tip is glued exactly perpendicular to your cantilever. Many are not. Only way to get this perfect is with a microscope and a software program. The more you learn about carts, the more bogged down into details you become. Using your eyes like this is only going to catch egregious misalignment. In addition, Ideal VTA is 92 degrees and you can't do that with your eyes. Most folks align carts with their ears. That can only take you so far.

I'm not sure that is correct to have it at 90 degrees ! when they cut the record the cutting head is not at 90 degrees because they got to remove the material far as I know and what that angle is when they are cutting??
